I'm not at all surprised the Glenn Beckians are confused and angered over the Nobel Committee's decision to award this year's Peace Prize to Barack Obama. The American far right is angry because they assumed Palin would get the prize, and they can't fathom the sudden upset.
The anger is understandable. Following are some of the excellent reasons Palin should really have been chosen over Obama:
- During a period when Russia was again rearing its head militarily, Palin's gently assertive gaze assured peace across the Bering Strait. No Russian leader would dare attack us while her keen eye was watching from her house.
- Palin expressed her vision of harmony between African nations by referring to the continent as one big country.
- Palin was so deeply upset by the implications of the Bush Doctrine that she refused to discuss it during TV interviews, even going so far as to pretend not to know what it was.
- When degenerate boneheads attending her campaign rallies yelled out racial slurs against her Democratic rival, Palin didn't confront them by reminding them such language was un-American. No, rather than risk conflict with the crowd, she chose the path of peace: just keep up with her rousing speech.
- Male moose are known to fight over females. By taking one down with a rifle, Palin lessened conflict in the natural world, thus bringing peace to Alaska's forests.
- Ditto with the aerial culling of wolves. Howling wolves are distinctly unpeaceful. Shooting them from planes ensures all species can sleep easier. Palin's support for the aerial hunting of wolves is a step toward a truly universal vision of peace, one that takes account even of peace and quiet in the natural world.
Of course these are only a few of the many reasons Palin deserved the prize. Fellow Kossacks are invited to add to the list. . .
[UPDATE: Many thanks all for the brilliant additions in comments and for getting this on the rec list. I'm thinking to write up a complete Kossack version of arguments in support of a Palin Peace Nobel in "O-Twelve." But what to do with such a list? Post it at redstate?]
